I can't seem to make up my mind about her. I think she's probably fake though. Read some stuff about her lying about Vanity.

EXCELLENT INTERVIEW!!!! Apollonia is one of the people who really cared for him + I'm so glad she was in his life.

[@Danyelvasquez]

You can’t deny her luv for him. So glad Apollonia is finally talking. She respectfully Kept quiet five years while everyone talked. I loved her for this. But I’m so glad she’s sharing. To know her is to love her. ☔️💜

[@carmonarmstrong1288]

Appolonia happened to be at Boogie's In The Valley, in Sad Diego, during the very height of the Purple Rain days and she danced with me like I was the famous one. She was so warm and personable. We had fun! I never acknowledged that I knew exactly who she was an it was never discussed. We just danced an enjoyed ourselves. I pray for nothing but the very best for her and her family and friends. God bless you, young lady.

@@kevindube7096 I worked in the entertainment business It was her. I can't speak for ANYONE else but there were no drugs,whatsoever. And I have never really had much interest is alcohol. Not EVERYONE did cocaine in the 1980's. BTW - I had the opportunity to meet several entertainers in Los Angeles and San Diego. Everybody is from somewhere. Never the "star struck" type of guy.

Very touching.

[@domarq]

It's even more strange Denise "Vanity" Matthews died only 2 months before Prince. Prince dedicated a song to her, upon news of her death. He also gave an anecdote (to the concert audience) about his time with Denise/"Vanity". Prince became VERY skinny (like Michael Jackson, before HIS death). Not regular Prince skinny, either. It's obvious he was in pain (as Sheila E. stated). Not only his hips. His knees....his feet....his spine...etc. He was dancing and walking in heels, for DECADES. Women know how painful that is. Now imagine constantly dancing in high heels, for decades. I think Prince used his final, "Piano and Microphone" tour, to hide the fact he was experiencing physical trouble; to perform a full show. Ola Ray had the same reaction, upon news of Michael's death (the footage was removed, in recent years). Even in the recent video of her walking in the "Thriller" locations....Ola broke down.

[@DonnieHardenJr]

The pain is unbearable. From the hips and from Prince's death. I had both of my hips replaced because of Avascular Necrosis. April 21, 2016: I'm listening to Raspberry Beret, my brother and I are texting about the song. Mom texts me: "DJ Prince died." Me: "GTFOH!" I turn to the news "Prince Rogers Nelson dead at 57." I cried the rest of that WHOLE day. Didn't know him, but, I feel like I did. He changed the way I play music forever. Lyrics. Guitar. Whatever. Rest In Peace, Prince. 🕊
